The Treasury department now holds
about ?t!H,000,(NX) lu gold, which Is an
other one of iho surprising records
which the I'nlted States has been mak
ing in the lust two or three years. It
Is said that the treasury of no nation
within historic times has ever had so
great an amount of gold as that at
one time. It Is estimated that lu the
United Slntes the total gold supply at
present Is not far from $1,10U,00.00.
Experts In New York who keep close
watch upon gold production say that the
United States and Alaska are producing
now about ?L000,0X) of gold a week
from the mines. If that be ti correct
estimate we havo passed South Africa's
record at the time of her highest pro
duction of gold Just before the outbreak
of the war lu the Transvaal. Almost
all of this new supply Muds lodgment
lu the I'nlted States and there Is no
Indication that It Is to be In the Im
mediate future lessened. Indeed, It Is
stated that some of the authorities ate
of the opinion that wo may conlldeiitly
count upon a yearly production from our
mines and tlioc of Alaska for the next
ten years of ? U KJ.0tJ4),otW.
It Is somewhat remarkable that the
great Increase hi the supply of gold
has had so Utile effect upon the prices
of commodities, but the explanation Is
perhaps to be found lu the greater
economies In tho cost of production and
of distribution. According to a Ilium
elal authority, it careful compilation re
cently made seemed to demonstrate that
the tendency to an Increase In prices
by reason of thu Increased production
of gold from our mines had been al
most exactly offset by the Inllueiiep that
has been created by the reduction in
the cost of production of almost all
commodities that come into dally use. If
lids view bo correct tin; condition Is
without precedent and presents nu In
teresting fact, for the consideration of
political economists.
It Is noted, however, that the Increase
in tho supply of gold appears to be
having an lullticucu upon the price of
one commodity silver which has beeti
appreciating and Is now worth over
'JO per cent more than a year ago.
This Is partly due to the greater demand
for sliver that hns been experienced
lu the last year, but undoubtedly the
Increase in the supply of gold hits an
effect upon the price of silver. The
New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Press say's: "With the pur
chasing value of gold decreasing silver
ought to be higher, and even If there
were to bo no exceptional demand for
silver, nevertheless It Is tho opinion of
tho ablest llnauclers here that lu the
normal course of things, If tho rela
tion Indicated by mining statistics be
tween the production of gold and that
of silver be continued for several years,
the price of silver will constantly ad
vance. Theoretically, It Is possible to
conceive of nn advance that would
bring tho actual market relation be
tween the two metals to a point ex
pressed by the Ideal, ratio of 10 to y
It Is anticipated that ns soon as the
troubles Itl China are over there will
come a sudden and enormously In
creased demand for silver, while more
ot that metitl will be required hi the
Philippines as soon as paclllcatlon Is
complete there and the trade of the
Islands Is fully resumed. Thus the out
look for silver seems most favorable.
Of course no one can foresee how
long the present production of gold
will continue, hut It Is quite as likely
to bo niurniented as otherwise. At all
events, there Is no reason for appro
bonding that there will bo a scarcity
of tho yellow metal In the near future.

The future trade of the United States
with the Philippine Islands will depend
largely upon tnrlff conditions. There
fore tho question of making a tariff for
these possessions Is very important and
should receive the most careful consld
eratlou.
The tariff proposed by the Philippine
commission Is meeting with a good deal
of criticism from those Interested. Ac
cording to Washington advices the War
departmeut Is already In receipt of nu
morons objections to cortnln features
and more are expee'd. The crltlcUtn
relates not so much to the amount of
the duties as to their arrangement,
which In a number of cases is lucott
urttous and unscientific. This Is ' the
case on printing paper and books and
also some of the mnmifiicturcs of Iron
and steel. Protests havo been most
numerous In regard to the textile sehed
tiles and It Is probable that these will
be materially changed before tho now
tariff Is promulgated, as well as altera
tions made In other features to which
objection is raised lj American ex
porters.
It is most desirable anil Important
that a right start bo made lu this mat
ter ami any time required to give It
tho most thorough consideration, so that
the tariff which shall be put Into effect
will work well for the revenues of the
Islands and not be Inimical to Amor
lean trade Interests, will bo well spent
Wo cannot make a "tariff for the Phil
lpplnes that wJU discriminate lu favor

Interests. The question Is one for ex
ports In llsoal matters and It Is -doubt
fill If either the commission or the army
board Is competent to properly dea
with It.
VXFAIH TO TUB (lOVKIlSoll.
Ono of the evil features of the rusl
attendant on tho last days of the legls
lature Is tho amount of work piled upon
tho governor. The constitution of the
state requires that unless the governor
shall veto a bill within live days of the
date of adjournment of the leglsla
ture, It becomes a law without his up
proval.
Ostensibly the Twenty-seventh (ion
oral assembly of the state of Nebraska
adjourned on Thursday, March S!8. In
reality. Its work was not coitcludei
until two days later. During tlioso
extra two days more bills wore passei
by the legislature tint u during tho eu
tiro llnio of Its session previously. All
these have gone to tho governor as hav
lutf been euueted on Thursday, when, us
a matter of fact, there were but half
a dozen bills passed on Thurilay, while
bill after bill was nulled through on
'rlday and Saturday. Omitting Sun
day, the governor has Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday on which to consider
nml examine all this mass of hastily
adopted legislation, or It must become u
law without his approval. To properly
exercise his function as the 'executive
olllcer of the state Is a physical Impos-
Utility, and Governor Dietrich finds
himself helpless lu the face of a condi
tion the legislature has prepared for hlui.
It Is not enough to say that the bills
were carefully considered by the lenls
lature. Uirois Creep In, and bad bills
get through, and the governor was In-
posted with the prerogative of veto
lower as a measure of caution anil a
safeguard against vicious or f unity
laws. One of the most Important bills
niicted by the late legislature was
found when It reached the governor's
lesk to contain errors, purely clerical,
Htilllclent to Invalidate It, and while It
ecelved the executive's approval, It was
necessary to passa new mil in onier
o secure the worthy object aimed at
by the Hist. How often this experl-
nce has been repeated will not be"
mown until the courts come to pass
upon tho results of the session, but the
fact remains that (lie statute books will
be encumbered by u host of laws on
which the executive lias never passed
iccattso of lack of time.
In the Inline the legislators should
aim to time their Until adjournment so
hat this state of affairs may ho
avoided. It is not only unfair to tho
governor, but to the people, and should
never be allowed to j-xlst.
AccoBdlng to the veracious Lincoln
correspondent of tlio World-IIetiild
'strained relations exist belweeti Gov
ernor Dietrich and Lieutenant Governor
Savage over tho time when the former
proposes to vacate tho governor's chair
and executive mansion mid serious
trouble Is threatened before the matter
Is finally sot tied." We apprehend, how-
ver, that the threatened breach Is
chletly in tho fertile Imagination of the
cportorlat mind-reader. Lieutenant
Governor Savage knows enough to
know that he has no inherent right to
the governorship and must necessarily
bide his time with patience.

Tho financial world has been In n whirl
of excitement during the past six inonth3
as It has watched tho changes In Industrial
affairs. Tho most wonderful series of com
plex organizations ever known has been
brought Into being. Tho recruiting, drilling
and equipping of vast armies havo not re
quired a greater genius. Immenso projects,
involving millions of money, affecting thou
sands of people, embracing a multitude of
details, havo been conceived, then under
taken, and finally driven forward to protlta
blo success.
Tho men behind these schemes have not
been heirs to their destiny by dlvlno right.
Their destiny has been made. A study of
tho men who havo been tho soul and tho
energy of these colossal ventures will be
a refutation to tho wall that the American
boys havo been robbed of their future.
This country never presented better op
portunities to its youtig men than It docs
at present. Tho big Industrial eomblna-
tlons have not destroyed tho young men's
hopes. They have, on tho contrary, fur
nished a new impetus fpr Jiarder work and
for brilliant achievement. Tho wonderful
evolution In the world of Industry has
opened up new fields. No longer do fathers
dllato upon the glories of war as tho voca
tion In which to win honors nnd fame.
Bold conceptions, daring enterprise nnd
superb generalship now find their con
genial employment In tho development ot
industrial forces and In the conquest ot
commercial territory. Renins never had r.
better Incentive than present-day conditions
can offer. These are the times when men
of talent aro at a premium, and when Indi
vidual capacity will command tho most
profitable recognition.
Tho most comforting fuct about tho wholo
problem is that tho new conditions call for
men of value, and not for men of merely
an honorablo genealogy. Never has the
American lesson of success been more for
cibly written than it has In tho recent steel
deal. Tho lenders of that project were
men whoso boyhood waB tho very Ideal of
unpromising obscurity. Pluck and applica
tion, boldness and determination, however,
hayo converted that obscurity Into wealth
and success. Tho rulers of tho present In
dustrial ago In America aro men who have
sprung from apparently hopeless poverty.
They have worked out their genius, and aro
now winning battles more honorable than
tho bloody ones of Caesar or of Nnpoleon.
Tho same opportunities are open to all.
The big projects of (ho day demand gculiu
to manago them; they cannot survive with
mediocrity at the helm. The young son of
obbcurltv, therefore, who proves his worth
will always command a premium over the
favored pet of wealth. Sons ot rich men
who havo neither brain nor grit behind them
hac less prospects for success than the
poor boys of genius, Tho futuro Is still
beckoning to tho sons of apparent obscurity
to tight on, and Is waiting to crown their
j eix0rt8 vtitb success.

Chicago Tribune.
The news came recently from Honolulu
that ono Inane Newton tlaydcn had died
there and left 20,000,000, nnd that heirs
wero wanted for the estate, Ilnydcns being
so ecarco In Honolulu that there was danger
tho cstnto would bo left unclaimed, ltathcr
than hnvn this calamity occur several pub
lic spirited agents In this country have
been vigorously promoting n Hnyden boom.
Haydens by blood and Haydens by marrlago
havo been asked to furnish their pedigrees
to the promoters, not forgetting a bonus
to reimburse tho latter for expcnucs. The
schemo was well under way, Haydens were
turning up In all directions, eager for
slices of Isanc Newton's fortune, and
bonuses hero Just beginning to come In
when news rntnc from Honolulu that In
stead of 120,000,000 Isano Newton's fortune
amounted to Just $40.
In tho fnco of such n shrinkage na this
tho bubble burst nnd the Hnydens aro no
longer Interested In the matter. So far ns
the claim agents tiro concerned, they will
get no sympathy. Tholr business Is that of
profiting by popular greed and credulity.
Hence It is a matter for congratulation
when ono of their schemes collapses beforo
It comes to a head. As far ns the Hay
dens aro concerned they have probably been
snved from throwing away their money.
Kvea If Isaac Newton had been worth $20,
000,000, (hero nro so many Haydens that
each heir would have had but nn Infinites!-
mally small slice, especially after the claim
agent had mado his grab, and all the heirs
would have been unhappy.

name of Fred Funston will live la the

Indianapolis Journal: Regarding the mat
ter from anothqr point of view his capturo
adds greatly to the prestige of General
Funston, to whose skill and darlnc it is due.
No American 'ivar has produced n nioro
typical specimen of the true American sol
dler and hero than this volunteer officer of
Kansas. To say that he la lucky Is not
enough. Mere luck cannot account for
achievements that require a rare combina
tion of high and manly qualities. General
Funston has added a new claim to the ad
miration of his countrymen nnd the gratl
tudo of tho government.
New York livening Post: Although then
a rncro soldier ot fortune nnd a yellow
Journal hero of tho days when devotion to
tho cause of absolute freedom for Cuba was
praiseworthy, on his appointment to the
command ot the Twentieth Kansas Infantry
General Funston displayed unusual quali
ties In disciplining nnd controlling his regi
ment. For these evidences of executive
ability and force of character he has rc
colved much less credit than for his courage
under Arc. If there nre those who regret
that deceit nnd trickery nnd tho uso of
traitors woro necessary to capture Agul
naldo, wo must point out to them that this
Is n legltlmato part of warfare, which
legalizes nearly every practice that Is rc
garded with abhorrence among civilized
men In time of peace.
Chicago Tribune: Tho administration
mado a remarkably good Investment when
It' appointed Funston n brlgadlor general ot
volunteers and sent him back to tho Philip
pines to outdo his previous audacious per
formances. But for him Agulnaldo would
still be at large, making much troublo,
whllo tho probabilities areithnt now he Is
safely caged the Insurrection will flicker
out for lack of n rocognlzcd, nbie lcajler.
Other officers would havo gone out In quest
of him with cavalry and Infantry, with
trumpets nnd with drums. Not one ot
them would have conceived tho Idea of en
tering Agulnnhlo's ramp in tho guiso or a

ofllcers, but luckily they had contldenco

feel thankful that Ncbrnska will havo two
republicans la the next United States sen
ate. Alllanco Times (rep.): Tho stato of Ne
braska nnd tho republican party nro to be
congratulated upon tho settlement of the
long-continued senatorial fight. J. II. Mil
lard of Omahu and Governor C. H. Dietrich
were elected. Just how tho compromise
was effected tho Times Is unablo to nay.
Suoh controversies an that Just closed In
lilncoln servo to acccntuato the necessity of
n constitutional amendment providing for
the election of United States senators by
direct voto of tho people.
Tecumsch Chieftain (rep.): Tho deadlock
111 tho legislature of N'ebrnskn was Hiicrens-
fully broken Inst Thursday, the closing day
of tho session, and Governor Charles II,
Dietrich ot Hastings and Hon. J. II. Millard
of Omaha wero elected to seats In the
United States senate. It Is needless to say
that there Is great rejoicing In the repub
llcan ranks over tho fact that senators have
been chosen and that tho threatened dan
gcr ot no representation In tho upper houso
of congress has been safely passed.
Friend Telegraph (rep.): While tho end
ing was a happy one, yet the stato must
bear tho loss of several very Important
measures which they had a right to expect
the legislature to havo carried out and
which have been sacrificed on tho nltar of
party strife and bitter contentions. Not
withstanding all that, wo can at least with
the newly elected senators, stand up for
Nebraska and her best interests with party
nnd country first and selfishness never, we
may stand shoulder to shoulder In oppo
sition to tho common enemy of equal rights
and human progress.
York Times (rep.): There was n good
deal of patriotism and party loyalty shown
at Lincoln, as well us wisdom, lu tho set
tlement of the senatorial Imbroglio. Mr.
D. K. Thompson, first of all, proved his
loyalty to tho republican party and tho
cntiro baselessness of the charge that ho
Is entirely selfish and cares nothing for
tho party. He was wlthlu five or six votes
of election, had flfty-nlno out of seventy
voting republicans lu the Joint session, and
yet ho yielded gracefully nnd generously
when It becamo apparent that he could not
bo elected. Mr. Rosowater, too, who hold
In his grasp the key to tho situation, and
who hnR been denounced as supremely self
ish, laid down his chances, after a long
and wenrylng contest, for the good of .the
party and tho state.
Kearney Hub (rep.): Another Interesting
phase of the outcome Is that Governor
Dietrich had been a close friend and sup
porter of Mr. Thompson as n candidate, and
Mr. Millard was ono ot the principal sup
porters of Mr. Rosowater In the city of
Omaha. In less than a year Mr. Dietrich
has made the gubernatorial canvass, been
nominated nnd elected, nnd by n chanco
becomes ono of tho senntors from the state.
Ho has been governor three months, but
has shown In that time that he Is a mnu
ot force, character, ability and has the
nerve to do tho thing that is right. Tho
fact Is that Nebraska loses a flrst-chiss
governor In gaining a senator. Joseph Mil
lard Is one ot tho pioneers ot Nebraska,
having como to Omaha lu 185C. Eighteen
years ago ho was a candidate for tho sen
nto nnd was beaten by General Mander
son. Ho has been nt the bend of tho Omaha
National bank for many years, Is an all-
around welt equipped public man, and will
take Immediate rank ns ono of the strong
men la tho senate.
York Times: When the last Joint session
of tho legislature met at noon Thursday It
was already decided that Dietrich and Mil
lard would be tho United States senators,
with the possible, but not probable, con
tingency that enough of tho boltors might
bolt tho last caucus to prevent an election
and thus leave two positions open for their
friends, the pops, two years heucu. Mr.
Thompson had wlthdrnwn nnd named a man
who really Is far nioro distasteful to tho
bolters and their manipulators than Mr
Thompson himself, Mr. Rosowater has also
withdrawn and thrown his following to Mr.
Millard. Tho withdrawal of theso two men
sottled the light. They were the only can
dldntes who controlled votes enough to do
tent a republican. The bottom fnct Is theso
two wero thu only candidates who could
absolutely control more, thnn one vote
Melklejohn had a good many friends who
were anxious to seo him elected, hut he had
no positive member who would defeat a re
publican member nt his behest, Crounse
had his own voto nnd no more. Hu denied
responsibility for his man Rohwer, and their
paths divided. Currlo had the ote of Sen
ntor Currlc to trade or keep or uso as he
would, but ho did not have another one.
Hlnshnw had lots of friends and well-
wishers and got a nice vote, but ho con
trolled only one, Mendenhall at last played
his secret part. In tho open and came out
nRtilnst Ilinshaw In name, ns he hud been In
fact. Halner could no more control Whit
morn than he could a Tagnlog, and ho ha'd
no other to lean upon. Ho was really the
choice of some members and quite a number
would have supported him had the signs
bpen right. Martin may possibly bo nn ex-
ceptlon to tho statement that no randldato
except Thompson nnd Rosewater controlled
more than one vote, and yet It Is a ques
tion, He controlled his own voto without
a doubt, but ns to Cain there Is a serious
doubt. Still, he may havo had those two,
but positively no more. So, when the fierce
pressure of tho lust hours enmn and mem
bers looked tnwnrd their homes and shud
dered at tho thought of the reception that
awaited them, only Thompson and Rose-
water needed to let go, Th rest could not
bold on. They hud to let go. ,

Ilowells Journal (dem.): Wo would llko

the legislature, which adjourned yestcrdny,
accomplished. Now, don't nil speak nt once.
Perhaps tho editor of tho Schujler Sua,
who was In Lincoln during the session, can

Superior Journal (rep.); Representative
McCarthy deserves congratulations upon tho
fight which ho mado on tlio appropriation
of 133.000 to buy the stato fair grounds.
Ho took tho ground that tho Lancaster
county people had ngreed to purchnso tho
site for tho fair In consideration of hav
ing It permanently located at Lincoln. Ho
sought to mako Lincoln llvo up to her
promises. That tho "pull" which Lincoln
evidently has with this legislature overramo
him Is nothing to the discredit of Repre
sentative McCarthy, llo did his best.
Blair Republican (pop.): L'ven Governor
Dietrich complains that tho legislature has
mado n mlscr.iblo rcc6rd of Inefficiency and
wasted tho tlmo that should have been
devoted to legislation of great Importance
to the state. What do republicans think of
the manner In which their party Is carrying
out Its pledges of reform Tho shameful
domination of tho railroads, determined to
sacrifice every principle of Justice or fair
ness to elect their preferred candidates,
splits the party wide open, nnd bribery
and corruption wero" never so T.impanl In
tho legislature. What h story could t-omo
of tho bonest republican members of the
legislature unfold It so disposed.
Sup'Tlor Journnl (rep.): It has long been
evident that tho state of Nebraska elect-d
a pack of bahks to the legislature this year.
As H their conduct la tho fcaatorlal affair
was not enough, they hnvc added to the
dlsghst of tho general publlo by showing
their petty pique, resulting from the gov
ernor's veto of thn normal school .appro
priation, by turning down the governor's
suggestion that tho clerk of tho supreme
court ho put upon a salary, instead of re
ceiving all tho fees of tho ohlcr. Tho houso
standing committee reported the bill for In
definite postponement and thfi houso con
curred. Y'ou have seen children who aro

Y'ork Times (rep.): Thoso republicans,
so-called, who havo voted with tho fusion-
Istn on every pnrty tncasuro beforo tho
legislature, who defeated tho apportion
ment bills, upon which tho fight between
tho two parties turnrd Inst fall, nnd who
havo prevented tho republicans from cau
cuslng on theso Important measures, may
havo snved n small portion ot their bacon
by catching hold nt ho elephant's tall
Just as ho was wabbling Into the ring. Still
they havo defeated almost nil good legis
lation nnd mado tho republican victory of
last fnll a dead-sea apple, turning to ashes
on our lips. The victory that was won
with much hard labor ami sacrifice haR re
sulted In the election of two good United
States senators, it Is true, but they had
nothing whatever to do with tho quality of
men chosen, nnd nsldo from this they have
dono nothing that a fusion legislature would
not havo done.
Tecumsch Chieftain (rep.): Tecumseh
sportsmen are not entirely satisfied with
tho provisions of tho now game law. They
thrnk the restrictions aro most too far
reaching and that the disciples ot tbc rod
and gun have little left in the way of
amusement. At the ilmo time it should be
remembered that ns the country grows
older and Is more thickly populated the
wild gamo gradually disappears and that It
Is only a question of time, unless protect
lng laws are passed and enforced, when the
several species will bo so rare as to rob
hunting of every element of sport. It Is
probably better to limit tho season and pro
vide adequate protection, thus preserving
tbc gamo so that thoso who aro partial to
the chase can Indulge their Inclination nt
stated periods with some prospect ot re
suits. The disappearance of tho buffalo has
been a lesson to our sportsmen on the
necessity of such protection.
Tender Republic (rep.): Nebraska rc
publicans who did so valiantly last tall In
tho election havo great reason to feel keenly
disappointed nt tho falluro of tho leglsla
turo to pass bills for redisricting tho
state for congressional and legislative dis
tricts. Thli important duty was omitted
ten years ago as to tho leglslntlva redls
trictlng and as a concequeuce somo coun
tics of tho stato havo -had since then two
or three times thi representation, by
reason of the changed of population, that
other counties have had. Tho populists
then in control were severely censured for
their failure to do Justlco to tho different
counties and tho blame will fall now with
much added weight on tho republicans who
hnvo permitted a much greater Inequality
to continue. There can be no excuse given
and It will hurt tho republican party Im
mensely because this Important matter has
been allowed to go by default.
Grand Island Independent (rep.): The
semi to seems to have killed Governor Diet
rich's recommendation In regard to fixing
tho salary of the clerk of tho supreme
court. If any member of tho legislature
wero aooptlng a method of conducting his
private business he would undoubtedly fol
low tho lines laid down by the governor In
his inossngo nnd try to deal fairly us be
tween hlnuelf nnd his employe. He would
not ns a, sound business principle say to hlu
clerk, Hero Is a matter that permits of your
getting at least four or flvo times tho pay
you wouni receive in a llko capacity elso
where, but seeing that you nre a very nice
sort of fellow I will let It go nnd take no
account of the fact that tho pay Is out of
proportion to tho service. And thero Is no
valid business reason why tho clerk of the
supremo court should receive tbo enormous
fees that will come to his ofilco. He should
bo entitled to good pny for competent serv
ice and should glvo tho taxpayers tho bene
fit of the difference.

Trusting to the ftcll known disposition of

The world Is full of fads nnd always will
be, fads harmful nnd fada Innocuous, but
If tjicro Is one place from which they ought
rigidly to bo excluded, but In which, In
point of fact, they fairly rove), It Is that, of
popular education. In this fertllo field tho
faddists run wild, nud when they get power,
cither through number or Influence, they
try their experiments with all tho experi
menter's zest, choerfully oblivious to tho
Injury they may be doing tho cxpcrlmontcc.
Now, ono of the most delicate subjects on
earth to handle, and one requiring the most
careful, the most conscientious nnd tho
most Intelligent management, Is tho tender
brain ot n llttlo child. To tbc faddists It Is
simply a pleasant puzzlo which they find
great enjoyment In trying to solve by their
theories.
This is n scientific age, nnd tho atmos
phere Is tinged with science. Many catch tho
Infection much as they would tho measles,
and so tho fads ot sclCnco nro Just ns

and the amateurs mnkn up lu zeal and en

try their self-acquired powers, ns n child
